Resource pack

Have you ever wanted to build an entire game world?

Join our unique ‘Unreal Engine 5 Environment Creation: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners' class and immerse yourself in the complete process of crafting a gaming environment with Unreal Engine 5 (UE5). From landscape creation, water flows, to the strategic placement of environmental features, this Skillshare class has it all. It's designed for anyone wishing to explore Unreal Engine 5 or transitioning from Unreal Engine 4.

Whether you're a gamer yearning to manifest your imaginings or a game designer keen to delve into UE5's full potential, this meticulously structured class is perfect for you.

This Skillshare class highlights include:

Constructing a 3D environment using the Quixel library, learning how to reshape a mesh and modify material properties.
Carving terrains and generating mountains with height map textures.
Creating a versatile water system with waterfalls and setting up atmospheric sunset lighting.
Simulating fire for the fireplace.
Infusing life into the environment by introducing birds and fireflies.

Our ‘Unreal Engine 5 Environment Creation: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners' class will equip you with skills to construct an intricate riverside environment filled with a fisherman's hut and a wooden walkway, ushering you into a thrilling 3D modelling adventure. This class is 19 hours long and includes 93 comprehensive lessons.

Manipulate any mesh using UE5's built-in modelling mode, using various techniques to reshape and even carve the mesh, ensuring full control over scanned assets from the Quixel library. You'll also construct a dynamic water system from scratch to amplify your scene's visual appeal.

‘Unreal Engine 5 Environment Creation: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners' encompasses numerous techniques for terrain building within UE5. Learn to manually sculpt terrain and generate a mountain from a height texture map using a displacement tool.

Towards the end, we'll set up a sunset using the dynamic volumetric cloud system, adjusting the atmosphere and sunlight colour absorption to enhance the sunset lighting within the 3D environment. Lastly, we'll set up a camera composition for the scene and render a video of the finished result.

As part of the resource pack, you will get 8 unique texture maps for setting up your water system and a sample texture map of a mountain height map texture.

Picture how seamlessly this sunset fantasy scene complements your other 3D Tudor projects. Exercise your creativity by placing your fisherman's hut environment near a medieval castle keep or in the distant background of a medieval farm, using Blender 3 and Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) to your advantage.

Until then, happy modelling everyone!
